I was trying to avoid wearing dresses and skirts until the weather warmed up so that I wouldn't have to wear tights...unfortunately it is taking much too long, and I'm much too impatient...

Neon-Nude Shoe DIY

 Awhile ago I had thrifted a pair of shoes in a style that I loved, but I wasn't crazy about the red and white, straight from the 80's look.  After seeing nude shoes with neon cap toes, I knew what kind of make over I was going to give my shoes.
How I did it:
 I took some acrylic paints and mixed myself the perfect nude colour (white, brown and a little yellow), and then applied a gazillion layers of paint onto the white part of the shoe.  To speed up the process I blow dried the paint between layers. 
 Then I painted a few layers of neon orange acrylic paint to the toe cap and heel of the shoe.  Next I took some neon orange nail polish and painted a couple layers over the dried toe cap and heel because the acrylic paint wasn't covering well, but I was glad I had used it as a base coat.  Finally, when everything was dry, I sprayed the shoes with an clear acrylic sealer. 
All Done!

Funk

What:
Jacket- Thrifted
Top- Papaya
Scarf- TJ Maxx
Jeans- Gap
Shoes- ASOS

I've been in a bit of a funk lately when it comes to getting dressed.  The biggest problem is that I really want to wear a skirt/dress that isn't a maxi, but the weather isn't warm enough to be showing that much skin...and the last thing I want to wear right now is tights!  It's starting to get frustrating everyday, staring at all the cute skirts in my closet, but not being able to wear them....ugh!!

Simple Color

Anything But Boring

What:
Top- Suzy Shier
Skirt- Self Made
Necklace & Shoes- Joe Fresh

I love it when an outfit only requires a few simple items to look fun and bold.  With a print like this a simple outfit is anything but boring!

Toned Down

What:
Cardi- Sirens
Blouse- Self Made (Draft the Pattern here)
Pants- NY&co
Shoes- Nine West

Pairing a loud printed top with bright pink trousers could easily be a bit over the top, but with the addition of some neutral accessories and a long plain cardi I was able to tone things down a little.
